Yeah, not sure how many times I need to clear this up. Cedar spills, BUTANE LIGHTERS, and matches are all appropriate means of lighting cigars. Butane lighters are fine because they burn hot enough not to add a “flavor” to your cigar. A bic or zippo however is unacceptable (these will taste like lighter fluid). Trust me on this one fellas. I know the presidents of a majority of the major brands and they use butane lighters all the time. The real point is to enjoy the cigar and kick back for a little bit. Happy smoking.
